Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
What is the relationship weight v mass?
The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity On Earth, since gravity is about 9.8 meter/second2, or the equivalent 9.8 newton/kilogram, that means that a mass of 1 kilogram has a weight of 9.8 newton. In other places, with more or less gravity, the same mass will also weigh more, or less.
Relationship between mass weight and gravity?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, the more mass something has the more gravity something has.
What effect does gravity have on bridges ability to hold weight?
If gravity increases, the bridge is subjected to more weight. If gravity decreases, the bridge is subjected to less weight. Either way, the bridge will have a maximum weight that will remain the same regardless of the gravitational environment.
Gravity used in a sentence?
The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it
Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
Could the mass of a lighter object be more than that of a heavier object?
No, unless you compare objects on different planets. Weight = mass x gravity, so if gravity remains constant, more mass means more weight.
How can we harness the power of gravity and use it?
we harness the power by applying weight. the more weight there is then the more gravity there is
Does your weight change when there is more gravity?
Yes. Weight is directly proportional to the force of gravity.
Do gravity affect the weight of an object?
Yes. Mass is constant for a given object. Weight is a function of mass and gravity, stronger gravity more weight.
Is gravity potential or kinetic energy?
Gravity is a force more so than an energy
What is the weight of a man when he is in a satellite?
Weight is defined by gravity. So in space, you weigh nothing. The more gravity, the more you weigh. Mass, however, does not change with gravity, and is also another factor is weight.
What is the relationship weight v mass?
The relationship is: weight = mass x gravity On Earth, since gravity is about 9.8 meter/second2, or the equivalent 9.8 newton/kilogram, that means that a mass of 1 kilogram has a weight of 9.8 newton. In other places, with more or less gravity, the same mass will also weigh more, or less.
How does mass affect gravitational potential energy?
the formula for gravitational potential energy if mgh(mass X gravity X height). gravity is always 9.81m/s2. assume height is constant, more mass means more gravitational potential energy and vice versa
Why is weight different on different planets and the moon?
Some planets have less gravity or more gravity.More gravity giving you more weight and less giving you less weight.
Why is your weight less on some planets and greater on other planets?
Because of gravity. The greater a planet's mass the more gravity it has. The more gravity a planet has the more "force" is pulling you towards the centre and thus you have more weight.
What's the effect gravity has on weight and mass of an object?
More gravity = more weight. Gravity will hardly change the mass of an object (except for effects due to the Theory of Relativity, which are usually insignificant).
